Next year’s entry list has been issued by the FIA: the entry shows an important change for Scuderia Ferrari as the Maranello team is now referred to simply as ‘Scuderia Ferrari’ rather than ‘Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow’.
Mission Winnow is a brand run by major Ferrari sponsor Philip Morris International that first appeared on the Italian side’s Formula 1 cars in the second part of the 2018 season. The cigarette manufacturer’s brand has been removed from the cars on several occasions since that moment, usually in countries which have strict rules on tobacco advertising, and returned at other venues. A striking, bright green Mission Winnow logo was introduced this year, which features on Ferrari SF21 engine cover.
Scuderia Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto explained a few weeks ago that it was “very likely PMI will remain, [but] maybe not as a title sponsor” beyond the end of this season.
